According to the organizers, more than 24,000 people from all 50 states cast votes. The only place on the list that we’ve been to is the Tallgrass Prairie, and it truly is a spectacular landscape, in a subtly beautiful way. We were a little disappointed that the World’s Largest Ball of Twine (one of the finalists) didn’t make the winner’s circle. Maybe it was the fact that several other claimants think they have the world’s largest ball.

Disclosure:

We write this blog for fun. We offer our honest opinions and commentary about the topics we choose to discuss.

Although the world runs on “grease,” none seems to flow our direction – no free trips, no free products. We have received invitations from a couple of hotels to visit their properties, but have not yet done so. Should we ever accept any freebies, and subsequently write about that company/product/destination, we will disclose that information in our review. Our review will still carry our honest opinion – positive, negative, or neutral.

Secondly, we are not part of any affiliate marketing program. We get no compensation from referrals if we write positively about an airline (however unlikely that would be), destination, product, or service. We get no revenue from any link to any site we refer to anywhere in our writing.

Lastly, we have no control over ads that Google posts on our site. We don’t even know the content of those ads, as they change frequently and at random. To be honest, we don’t even look at what’s being advertised.
